Optimization of the Fermentation Conditions of Metarhizium robertsii and Its Biological Control of Wolfberry Root Rot Disease.

ABSTRACT: Fusarium solani is the main pathogenic fungus causing the root rot of wolfberry (Lycium barbarum). The endophytic fungus Metarhizium robertsii has been widely used for the biocontrol of plant pathogenic fungi, but the biocontrol effects of this fungus on wolfberry root rot and its antifungal mechanism against F. solani have not been reported. In this study, the antagonism of endophytic fungus M. robertsii against F. solani was verified. Further, we optimized the fermentation conditions of M. robertsii fermentation broth based on the inhibition rate of F. solani. In addition, the effects of M. robertsii fermentation broth on the root rot of wolfberry and its partial inhibition mechanism were investigated. The results showed that
